Hi..does anyone have news about C-class W204?
I called them the other day and they said the Avantgarde version is no longer in production. According to SA, MBM see this version as non-seller as when avantgarde being sold one unit, elegance already sold 5..but isnt it fishy?
Hmm..please comment
W204 200 Kompressor - Now only have Elegance RM248,888. Used to have Avantgarde.
W204 200 Kompressor SE - Elegance with Sportier Spoiler +Rm10k more
W204 230 V6 - Only available in Avantgarde, RM298,888 I think. Used to have the Command APS with Lingatronic, but not selling anymore.
Elegance is much cheaper, almost Rm50k Cheaper (200k vs 230v6). Differences:
- Sport Grill
- Alu trim
- 7G Auto Trans
- Peddle Shift
- Adjustable Sport Suspension (not airmatic)
- Chromed Fog Lamp
- 2600cc V6
Oh yea, the W204 Kompressor Elegance (and I think the C230 v6 too) doesn't come with CUP HOLDER INSERT (It's like a divider for the centre console so that you can snug cup into easily), and have to order from MB Singapore. Cost RM300+
I lashed my complaint to MB Sales Manager, hopefully can get cheaper or better, free for me.
To answer the question, the C230 will cease from Malaysia market next year. It is to differenciate the C class from the new E class (W212). C will be on Kompressor - 1794 CC with 184 bhp. Not bad what... 0-100kmh in 8.6sec, faster than kancil right?

Added on November 22, 2009, 1:15 amThe upcoming E-class will be launch:
26th --> Mines Shopping Complex
27th --> All MB Showrooms
But only the E300

E200 and E250/240 only be available next year March.
Don't expect all you read on the web will be available here.. and certainly the Parktron Plus will neve be in Malaysia market (expect for the E500 or the S 55). So all the very high tech fancy spec, you can get it from Gray Market.
